Owen Borstad

2×2 · top 65.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016BORS03

Owen Borstad has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 7.66, set at Cubing Under the Stars 2018, puts him in the top 65.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,788th in Canada. Across 9 competitions since May 2016, he has put 65 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:01.62 in May 2016 to 39.59, a 36% improvement. Owen has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
